Her eyes snapped open and jumped from the bed with a red, flushed face. "Are you okay?" Antonio asked, undressing. "Yeah...." Angela replied and swallowed tightly, trying not to stare. Her heart pounded as the air in the room thickened with an unspoken tension. She clenched her fists against the sheets, knowing she shouldn't look, but the temptation was overwhelming. Her body ached with a longing she'd denied for so long. Her eyes flickered toward him despite herself. Antonio's shirt slipped off to reveal his toned chest and strong shoulders. His movements were slow like he was intentionally seducing her, and each item of clothing he removed sent a pulse of heat through her body. She bit her lip, forcing herself to look away. *Remember he is not that freak Antonio, don't make him uncomfortable* She told herself. Antonio stepped into the bathroom, leaving the door slightly ajar. Angela let out a breath she didn't realize she had been holding. She couldn't help herself, she leaned back, sneaking a glance through the gap. Steam began to fill the room, blurring the edges of the mirror, but she could still see him, the way his body moved under the water. Her breath hitched, she was aroused like hell. His body glistened with steam, his length even under the cold shower was impressive. Her pulse raced, her skin flushed with desire. It had been so long since she had felt him, touched him, and her body screamed for him in a way she could barely control. The tension coiled tighter inside her, melting her cherry walls to fluidity. Just when she thought she could steal one more look, the bathroom door opened. Antonio walked from the bathroom. Water dripped from his hair, his skin glowing from the heat of the shower, and the towel hung low around his hips, teasing her with the sight of his sculpted body. He looked absolutely irresistible, his skin glistening, radiating a masculine allure that had her pulse skyrocketing. He looked effortlessly sensual, the raw masculinity radiating from him sending a shiver down her spine. "Angela?" Antonio called, drying his hair. "Yes?" She answered, her eyes still below his abdomen. "It's all yours, you know". That was when she got back to her senses. She has been staring at his Dick? Her throat tightened, and without thinking, she grabbed her bath kit and bolted from the bed, her heart pounding wildly. "Excuse". She muttered and with speed she rushed into the bathroom. ******* As Angela showered in the bathroom, Antonio sat on the edge of the bed, pulling out his phone to make a call he'd been meaning to make for days. He hadn't spoken to his Mexican family since the chaos with Damon began, and after everything that happened, he needed to hear their voices and ensure that they were safe. The phone rang a few times before Lucas, his fisherman, answered. "Antonio, is that you?" Lucas' deep, gruff voice came through the line, sounding both surprised and relieved. "Yes, it's me, Papa. It's been a while," Antonio said, a smile forming on his lips as he leaned back on the bed. "Ah! Gabi, it's Antonio!" Lucas called out to his wife, excitement filling his tone. A moment later, Gabi's voice joined the call, filled with joy and concern. "Antonio! We've been so worried about you! Are you alright?" Gabi asked, her voice soft but anxious. "I'm fine now," Antonio reassured them, his voice calm. "Things were rough, but it's over. I'm safe, and I met my family here, and we reconciled." "Thank the heavens!" Gabi exclaimed. "We prayed every day for you. We knew you were strong enough to get through it all. The security men you hired left this afternoon, are you away?" "Yes, so you don't need to panic, Mama". Lucas chimed in, "And Hinata, how is she? We were worried about her, too. We've been trying her line to no avail." Antonio paused for a moment, knowing how much they had grown fond of Hinata. "Hinata...she's fine," he began. "But there's something I need to tell you." There was a brief silence on the other end, as they listened. "I have a wife and a son... I was in love with Angela, not Hinata ...it's all coming back. Hinata accepted that we are not meant to be". The parents were shocked and glanced at each other in silence, then Lucas let out a hearty laugh. "Ah, so you finally found the love of your life, eh? I'm happy for you, my boy! It's about time you settled with the woman who truly has your heart." "You have a son! We have a grandchild, Lucas!" Gabi's voice yelled. Antonio chuckled and shook his head. He understands the feeling. He, too, can't wait to meet his son. Gabi's voice came softer now, filled with both joy and a hint of concern. "We're so happy for you, Antonio. But you won't forget us, will you? You won't forget the family who took you in, even though you've found your way back to your true self?" Antonio's heart tightened at her words. "How could I ever forget you? You and Papa are my family forever. You gave me a home when I had nothing, and I will always come back to you. I promise that." There was a brief pause, and then Gabi's voice came again, this time filled with emotion. "I wish I could give you a big hug from here." Lucas chuckled. "Well, as long as you don't forget to come visit us from time to time, you're forgiven for stealing our hearts and running off to be with this Angela. Tell me, is she that pretty?" "Lucas!" Gabi frowned. Just then, Angela, her hair still wet and wrapped in a pink towel, walked out of the bathroom. "She is an Angel". Angela paused at the spot, her cheeks hot, trying to get what the phone conversation was about. "You will meet her someday then you see. She's very pretty Papa". Angela intentionally took her phone, wiggling her butt playfully to tease him. She looked back at him and winked before going to the balcony to make her own call. Antonio couldn't help but chuckle.
